Broadcom ACPL-C740 Sigma-Delta Modulators
Broadcom ACPL-C740 Sigma-Delta Modulators convert an analog input signal into a high-speed data stream with galvanic isolation based on optical coupling technology. The ACPL-C740 operates from a 5V power supply with a dynamic range of 83dB with a designated digital filter. The differential inputs of ±200mV (full-scale ±320mV) are ideal for direct connection to shunt resistors. The inputs are also utilized in other low-level signal sources in applications. The ACPL-C740 has an analog input that is continuously sampled by a means of sigma-delta over-sampling using an onboard clock. The signal information is contained in the modulator data as a density of ones with a data rate of 20MHz. This data is then encoded and transmitted across the isolation boundary, where they are recovered and decoded into a high-speed data stream of digital ones and zeros.The original signal information can be reconstructed with a digital filter. The serial interface for data and clock has A wide supply range of 3V to 5.5V is offered in the serial interface for data and clock. The modulator, combined with superior optical-coupling technology, delivers high noise margins and excellent immunity against isolation-mode transients. The ACPL-C740 provides reliable reinforced insulation and high working insulation voltage with a 0.5mm minimum distance through insulation (DTI), making it suitable for fail-safe designs. The isolated ADC delivers the reliability, small size, superior isolation, and over-temperature performance that motor drive designers need to measure current accurately.
